Question
Please complete and balance the following equations:
![### Chemical Reactions Overview
**1. Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂):**
Chemical Equation:
\[ \text{HOOH}\ \xrightarrow{\text{MnO}_2\ \text{catalyst}} \ H_2O_{(l)} + O_2_{(gas)} \]
- **Explanation:** Manganese dioxide (MnO₂) acts as a catalyst to decompose hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) into water (H₂O) and oxygen gas (O₂).
**2. Electrolysis of Water:**
Chemical Equation:
\[ H_2O\ + \ e^- \rightarrow \]
- **Explanation:** This represents an electrochemical reaction where water (H₂O) is subjected to electrolysis with the addition of electrons (\(e^-\)), likely forming hydrogen and oxygen gases.
**3. Reaction Between Hydrochloric Acid and Ammonia:**
Chemical Equation:
\[ HCl + NH_3 \rightarrow \]
- **Explanation:** Hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with ammonia (NH₃) to form ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl), typically resulting in a white solid precipitate.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/95fd3b15-7487-4f4a-8b96-10d3abb47a6c/73728e44-7e62-4c4d-9691-42643197a1ce/b0o52t8_thumbnail.jpeg)
